The Trans Sierra Norte is a three-day enduro mountain bike race that takes place in the Mexican highlands near the town of Oaxacan. The race features more than 3000 feet of vertical gain and loss as competitors zip along on trails that are thousands of years old and used for commerce between villages. In this video, we travel to Mexico to witness this race firsthand, soaking up not only sights and sounds of the region, but also the amazing culture and traditions along the way too.
